PAPER: 'AIR AMERICA' MISSES PAYROLL; MORE TURBULENCE AT LIB TALK NET Thu May 06 2004 23:59:55 ET
In yet another sign of trouble for Air America Radio, the liberal talk network entering its fifth chaotic week on the air, co-founder and chairman Evan Cohen resigned Thursday, as did vice-chairman and investor Rex Sorensen.
The CHICAGO TRIBUNE is planning to report in fresh editions: The company also failed to make its scheduled payroll, leaving its staff roughly 100 radio personalities, writers, and producers unpaid until Thursday.
The departures of Cohen, a former political operative from Guam who was among the network's initial investors, and Sorenson, an investor who owns radio stations in Guam, mark the second executive shake-up at the fledgling network in as many weeks.

Why don't they just ask Babs to write a check?
Ever hear the story about zillionaire Streisand telling a waiter that she wouldn't be leaving a tip because she was paying with a gift certificate? Limo libs--ya gotta love'em.

OK, us seasoned business analysts know that not making payroll is one of those subtle little signs that a company may be in trouble. Another is a newspaper picture of the CEO being led to the courtroom in handcuffs.
So...uh...where'd all the money go?

Obviously, they need to raise their advertising rates until they make enough money to meet payroll. Then, if they keep raising their advertising rates higher and higher, eventually they will have tons of extra money. Right?

Liberals cannot survive without government help.
To: Anti-Bubba182
The Liberal answer to government budget shortfalls is to raise taxes. The Lib-nyet must have at least SOME advertisers. Why not just raise their advertising rates?

Of course they'll blame Bush. In fact, they'll blame everyone but themselves, which is what good unemployed Dems tend to do. I do feel sorry for the minority radio station people who go kicked off the air by this farce.

Oh, well. I think I'll just take to my bed. The depression is ..... hell, I can't do it. Tough! Looks like blather wont do it. Does this mean What's-his-name will have to find legitimate work? Wonder who will be blamed for this?
